What a horrid documentary, still surprised it was made so recently. It barely highlights this facts-His personal struggles were the fact, that he was gay,black ( in a racist lgbt community, deeply homophobic hateful black society and the racism in footbal) and in a hostile homophobic football culture(still alive in major football clubs globally), finally meeting hateful religious folks. No one held his hand and walked with him, instead they all shunned him from all sides,took advantage of his struggles to push their hetero centric and religious agendas, at the same time not giving him the respect he deserved as a great football player. He definitely was going to hit rock bottom, it was inevitable.I mean who would be in a calm place mentally with all the extreme stereotyping and discrimination he faced. In reality he opened a door for soo many future black gay footballers and lgbt's in general. He did the unthinkable at a time when it was unthinkable as a soccer player, he began the current fight against homophobia in football today, if that's not heroic, then i dont know what else is. This documentary ignored racism ,ignored so many things. Instead blames it on the fact that he was in a foster home and abandoned by his family. Which is gross, as still he would have faced hate from his own family even if they brought him up, as Nigerians tend to be homophobic. The issue was football culture and its need to degrade gay men that are good sportsmen. His second home, should have been the sporting community, valuing him for his talent. An lgbt community where even white gay celebs didnt embrace him and give him a home at that point in time. Shame on Netflix, for being tone deaf to those issues. It instead followed the same ignorant formula on documentaries dealing with dead lgbt's that no one knew existed. Then the day some huge celeb or hollywood movie is made, with an oscar, cannes award or golden globe, then they will suddenly hide the documentary or apologise. This film joined his brother in trashing his legacy.
